Day 4 - Advanced ApacheHVAC ASHRAE 90.1 & Open Forum
Date/Time of Session
26 Jan 2018 09:00-17:00 GST
Description
The morning session will cover:
- Walk-through the ASHRAE 90.1 PRM navigator with a sample model. Start from scratch and understand the issues when using the navigator to quickly and accurately setup the problem for a submittal ready report.
- Tools and strategies for more effective and time-efficient usage of the navigator.
- The afternoon session will include an open forum*.
The afternoon session will include:
- An open forum - we invite you to send us a list of 5 items that you’d like to see in done in ApacheHVAC prior to the program. We’ll compile a list in terms of popularity (and priority) and get our expert to cover as many questions as possible during the session.
